Repairs and Remakes

 

As I get closer to my update checkpoints and fix errors, I look through the older scenes in the game. Now, I am putting more effort into the scenes than I did a year ago. Plus, I have gotten better at drawing in certain areas. Comparing the new scenes to some of the first ones in the game, it looks like the old ones need replaced. This isn't going to be an immediate change, as it's not really a priority, but I will be re-editing or even flat out re-drawing the older scenes to make sure there is not as big of a quality gap with the new ones.


With that said, once I am finished with the last 3rd portion of Vlad's scene conversion for Izu, I might release the new update and work on the monster encounter designs. Or I might squeeze in those Silver and Miko conversion dates before I do this, I already have the sketches done after all.

Also, the 'details and features' page has some new changes to better show off the progress being made if you want to go check that out. 

 

 

--Edit: Old and New Previews--

I couldn't resist. I made new sketches for the male and female kitsune encounters, as well as the male lagomorph encounter. I never displayed these sketches due to the 'ehhhh, needs work' quality of them, but they have been collecting dust ever since the futa kitsune was being tested in-game.The old versions are to the left, and the new ones are to the right.


I am only letting you guys see upper body shots, because what fun would it be to let you see the whole preview before it's at least ready to be put in the game? They still need edits in the digital step of the process, but I am happy with the new designs so far. I may remake the futa kitsune as well, seeing as how she was finished solely as a test piece, and not a final draft. So, there may be a new futa kitsune preview along with the female lagomorph [I am debating redrawing her, as I actually like most of her design for now...].

Stamina Torture

 

Whoo~, I am making some serious fixes now. The next thing being worked on is, as you guessed from the title, stamina! Ryoga at the guild now offers you a small quest [get him 3 specific mushrooms] and he will train you for free each day. After completing his quest, you can train with him once a day, at the cost of a risky 75 stamina. This may seem like a huge chunk at first, but you do gain 20 points to your total stamina each time, so it will level out quickly. The first time you train, it triggers a cut scene. The second time and on, it's a simple screen similar to that when you work at any of the jobs. I plan on making it so there is an alternate, sexier choice to up your stats another 'training' option at x points with him, which will also increase your stamina.



 
 Izuna is in fact, not a fan of this work out...


By the way, you do not need to actually work at the guild to be able to access this option. Other things planned/being discussed include a teleporting item, since many core features are very far away from each other on the map. As always, I appreciate the words and compliments~

Updates, updates, updates

 

I'm trying to keep the updates weekly at minimum, but sometimes there isn't much to show off except progress reports...Such is the case this week. I can say with great relief that the Ryu blackmail scenes have been fully completed. There are multiple scenes, getting more submissive with each activation. Because of this, a good chunk of time was poured into this collection of scenes, so hopefully it's worth the wait in the next release. The scene being worked on now is another Izu one...

Obviously, this is a scene where Vladimir is having a sensual moment of passion with helping his dear friend Izu, who is clearly having a heart attack. There are other sketches for Izu x npc genderbends, but I want to hold off on those until we have enough Izu x npc content. For now, most of the scenes will either include Izu, or a genderbend, but not both just yet. And, of course, since a big portion of players prefer the Izuna scenes, there will be at least one made into the new release. My current goal is to have 1 Izu scene for all the npcs. and I have 2, going on 3 out of the way. Next will be Miko and Silver...Which might be tackled in one scene depending on how much time I think I have to spare.

 

--Edit: System additions--

While I am mainly working on the scenes, I am still making leveling additions to the game. This includes the new 'eject all followers' prompt, and additions to the game. Mark has been added to the town as a way of better signaling the 'jogger area' for those who have a hard time figuring out where to use the running boots. He might have a sexy event planned later...To make him a little more interactive, he has different reactions to the weather.

The follower kick script has been added to make it easier to remove followers for players who have difficulties backtracking the npc marker, or keep followers for days and have trouble calculating where they should go. This will pop up EVERYTIME you try to enter your room with followers, so it will get annoying if you aren't using it. Next, I will be seeing if I can't come out with a stamina increasing event.

 

 

And finally, the new hotel suite. While the room in inaccessible at the moment, I plan to use it for multiple scenes. This will include future remakes of the 'take follower to the Inn' scenes, and also with persuable characters who don't have a house/proper building setting for sex scenes.


And as always, thank you for the kind words and support everyone~

Blackmail and Mind Breaking

 

Looks like I lied on the last post...Not EVERY new scene will be Izu-based. I went through the game and skimmed through the planned scenes...I almost forgot about the blackmail events that were planned in. Ryu, your coworker at the guild, now has extra scenes being made after you meet 2 criteria: Have anal sex with Tenshi at the guild, and have already learned the job skill from him as well as completing his first H scene for that skill. This will prompt him to blackmail you, which leads to a series of scenes where you have sex with him. 

The scene writing changes after multiple completions, describing Izuna's mental breaking as she starts to slowly enjoy the blackmail sex more and more as she becomes more submissive to his advances. There could be more Izuna scenes, but I mentioned before that I want to focus mainly on the Izu ones.

First Yaoi Scene

 

A milestone has been reached for Collars today: After drawing it out and writing the scene out, we have put our very first yaoi scene into the game! This one is the alternative to Tenshi's 2nd date if you are Izu. Instead of giving him paizuri on the beach, he will suck you off. Here is a teaser screenshot of the scene mentioned~


This is pretty big in my opinion, because we have already had male/female and female/female scenes in the game for a while. But now we can honestly say we have at least SOME male/male content as of now. It's my personal belief that if you make a porn game with male and female characters, and have added lesbian scenes to the game, that you should also put some gay scenes in there, too. Enough about personal beliefs and idle chatter, we are here for updates!


With this in mind, most of the new scenes being added right now are, in fact, yaoi scenes. This is great news for players who have been itching for them, but 'meh' for those who aren't fans. There could also be some Izu/female scenes added as well. So either way, nearly ALL the new scenes are Izu based.

Wild NOCTURNAL appears!

Pawses here, chuu! Bringing goodies as always. Now let me drop it here and go make another one. If the heat doesn't kill me first, chuu. Anybody willing to borrow a fan here...?





NOCTURNALS

Those swift predators would roam the mountain during the night hours, spending their day in the Murky Cave, sleeping. Nocturnals appear to be what one would describe as bat people - only that vast majority of this species is female. Males are rare - so rare in fact, that females of this species learned to depend on humans once they came of age when it comes to breeding. We specify three kinds of nocturnals:


# Vampire Nocturnal - the most powerful variation of the species, rare compared to it's smaller kin, this nocturnal seems to have been born not of a human male, but of a demon one, as these bats show clear succubi traits, exhibiting large, predatory lust and masterful use of demonic magic that can allure the target, and have the ability to restore health with a vampire bite, which makes the fight with them difficult. Luckily, they are quite solitary, and hunt alone, not liking to share their prey, or satisfy themselves with companionship of primitive, common bats.


# Swarm Nocturnal - more common variation of the species, these feel best when in a group, so meeting a solitary one is either a rare situation... or a trap. Those aren't very strong, moderate enemies, really, besides ability to cause confused state with their cries. The problem is the number of them. they always move in a small group.


# Blindling Nocturnal - is what all of their kind are in the very beginning. Those are baby nocturnals, who do not breed, but stay together in large numbers. While it is easy to run from them, once you fall into a mass of them, they will all at once attack you and try to suck your blood for nourishment.they have no special abilities yet, since their vocal chords haven't developed beyond squeaks they use to call their moms, and they aren't yet mature enough to use magic.
